Health Care

I just received a recap of the first 500 pages of HR3200 – America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. If you want it, is available on the internet…. http://209.157.64.200/focus/news/2311011/posts?page=8 If you do, go to “SKIP TO COMMENTS”….. right after comment #13 is the actual wording for regulating Doctors fees. It will make you head spin!!….and scare you!!!

Here are some of my Highlights?????
Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with FREE health care services.
Page 59: The Federal government will have direct, real-time, access to all individual bank accounts including electronic funds transfer.
Page 65: Taxpayers will SUBSIDIZE all union retiree and community organizer plans. Read SEIU, UAW, ACORN)
Page 95: The Government will pay ACORN and Americorps to sign up individual for Government-run healthcare.
Page 170: Any NON-RESIDENT alien is exempt from individual taxes. (To me, this would just encourage them
not to become US citizens so they never will have to pay taxes or pay for healthcare)
Page 195: Officers and Employees of Government Healthcare Bureaucracy will have access to ALL financial and personal records.
Page 203: The TAX imposed under this section shall not be treated as a TAX. HUH??? Kind of like “It depends what the definition of IS….IS”
Page 241: Doctors: no matter the specialty, will all be paid the same……A Heart specialist will be paid the same as a foot doctor or a Doctor of Chiropractic…..oh yeah that will work well!!!!!
Page 268: Government will regulate the purchase or rental of power-driven wheelchairs.
Page 318: Prohibition on hospital expansion without Government approval.
Page 354: Government will restrict enrollment of SPECIAL NEEDS individuals
Page 425: Government will instruct and consult regarding living wills and durable powers of attorney. (This would appear to lock in estate taxes ahead of time.)
Page 427: Government mandates program that orders end-of –life treatment. (ORDERS!!!)
Page 429: Advance Care Planning Consultant will be used to dictate treatment as patient’s health deteriorates
which includes an ORDER for end-of-life plans. (AN ORDER from the Government as to when life should end)
Page 430: Government will decide what level of treatments you may have at end-of –life

I am beside myself. How could this great country get itself into such a jam?? How could the Democrats possibly be in favor of this bill? When the Government can control and ration your healthcare, has access to all you personal records including financial, confiscate however much money they want through taxes and then tell you how much you can earn (Doctors are all paid the same), allow illegal aliens into the country and then let them have access to all the freedoms and privileges Americans have fought for and earned., the country has then become a pure, Socialist Country. If we allow this to continue, that is where we are heading and it’s closer than you think.
Make sure your Democratic Representatives are aware of how you feel. They cannot support this bill!!!

New AmericanParty

Someday the Republican Party will get a backbone…probably not while I’m not alive. Judge Sonia Sotomayor was confirmed to be the next Supreme Court Justice. We knew it would happen….it was a done deal…..the Democrats did not need any Republican votes. Guess what…8 Republicans voted for her. Why? For what reason? Sotomayor ranks right up there with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who by the way was confirmed 96 -3 in the Senate. At that time the Republicans did not think it was right to block a President's (Clinton)nominee. It was the President's right to nominate whom ever he wanted. Ginsburg is without a doubt the most liberal justice on the court. She is pretty much against anything that the Republicans stand for. So again, why would any Republican vote for Sotosmayor? Because they do not want to be seen as opposing Democrat nominees. Of course the Democrats never opposed Republican nominees…other than Bork, Thomas, Alito, Roberts (for which few if any Democrats voted for) The Democratic leadership would not even let some of Presidents Bush's District Judge nomonees even come up for a debate and vote....remember?? Oh that’s right, those nominees weren’t qualified to be on the Supreme Court so they had to oppose them. Sotomayor is extremely qualified, except for her writings, court decisions, and statements.... but hey, nobody is perfect.
It is about time that potential Republican candidates take a litmus test. They will follow Republican Party line and vote, anytime the Democrats lie, mislead, ignore American values, morals and principals or do anything that will weaken the United States of America. If they do not want to agree to that then they can run as an Independent not as a Republican. YOU CANNOT APPEASE DEMOCRATS!!!! They will eventually just stab you in the back ….ask President George W. Bush…he tried and got steamrollered.
I would not be surprised to see the rise of a strong new American Party!!

Disagreements

“To disagree is to: fail to agree or to differ in opinion.”

Too often in life we disagree with someone because our opinion is different than theirs. At that point we are bound and determined to sway them to our side. We use logic, quotes, definitions, news or book articles, expert Scholars, and our own convoluted thought process…anything to make our point. Of course the other side does the same thing. The other side will not admit you have a valid point….that’s admitting defeat. So it becomes frustrating and a stalemate.

This is particularly true in Politics. The Republicans and Democrats disagree….because they are Republicans and Democrats……they are suppose to disagree. For Heaven’s sake do not let facts get in the way of a good argument. The hypocrisy on both sides is astronomical. Negative things that were said about President Bush are now being said about President Obama……..the difference…….with Bush he was a buffoon, a liar, in over his head, had incompetent people surrounding him, etc. The Democrats made the charges and of course people were not outraged, they just laughed...those silly Democrats! With Obama you are a racist if you dare question his people or policies. You don’t dare disagree with Obama because you will be labeled a trouble maker, out of the mainstream, a mob who interrupts town hall meetings. The Tea Parties are really the right wing fringe minority, accordingly to the Democrats. I really think that the American people are fed up with his style of government and cannot wait until the 2010 elections. You can disagree with the Democrats but do not let them get away with the lies and distortions. Make sure they are held accountable for their actions. Once they are out of office……if you want….. you can then forgive them :>)
